I think it’s psychology. When people make politics or certain stances their entire personality, then by disproving those items it’s literally tearing apart their own identity. They are so unable to actually confront this that their brains will believe wild crazy ideas like conspiracy theories because even if it’s insane, they are able to keep their worldview.

Their minds have been so warped to protect their identity that they will believe whatever they need to to be able to keep these views - to the point where it must be true, because if it weren’t true the house of cards would collapse. So when you are arguing with them, you’re not actually going to ever be able to penetrate this, because they will build up whatever they need to in their mind to protect it.

An interesting way to think of this (to borrow from the video below), is that as if becomes it is. Feelings become facts.

Take gay marriage. To a conservative white christian, it means nothing to them logically. 2 separate people are getting married which in no way effects them. However, gay marriage makes them feel as if their straight marriage is less important and the meaning of it has been deluded. To protect this worldview, since it’s impossible for any fact or reasoning to back up their worldview, that as if becomes it is. To them, now gay marriage is diluting their straight marriage and it is less important. It must be. It has to be. If it’s not… then what is their worldview? Their entire personality, their identity is based around these core beliefs. If it’s not actually affecting them… then what is their identity? So their view isn’t based on fact at all, and thus no amount of facts will ever persuade them.

Philosophy Tube did a great video essay on this, and I think it’s completely worth a watch.

Ah, the forum equivalent of vaguebooking.

Spouse is on Linux, but because one by one her devices started to switch. Setting up a new gaming pc, oh that’s weird it has Linux. Setting up the new gaming console, and it has bazzite. Suddenly they’re only using linux

Welcome!

P.U.L.S.E.is probably the best live album out there, with Comfortably Numb on it surpassing all of the other versions I’ve ever heard

They don’t see all the ways it could have terribly gone wrong!

Weird, launchers like this have such a small niche community already. I’m surprised they want to piss them off. Linux/nerds like us aren’t well known for being forgiving.

OP, important point is that these questions answers typically skew to the very young.

It’s a Simpsons quote.

Is your friend the same crazy person I know who doesn’t eat meat? Are they crazy?

_i don’t know why your comment made me think of that reference _

Agree, especially here. engage people. We need more engagement

Fair explanation, but don’t get sucked in. I noticed the algo just subtly shifts enough where you don’t notice it at first, and the comment sections are always so angry. Don’t let it happen to you over there

Horrible click bait title and image, downvoted.

May I ask honestly why Facebook? Every time I try it I just see rage bait and people I stopped caring about 20 years ago

That’s a fair reason IMO. However, knowing that it might be a few years out, then it becomes “is it worth the wait”

I don’t think you can take a device like this and compare AAA titles on it, but even if we do then I think you can only compare it to other handhelds. Right now, checking the competitors they’re mostly on par right now for AAA performance. I stand by my other comments, if you’re looking for good graphics and good performance, a handheld is not the right device for you - you need to be looking at a desktop with an actual GPU and real power.

Those are real tradeoffs we make by going portable, we expect lower performance so we can get a longer battery life. We cannot have a long battery and great performance in a portable, they go against each other. If others are able to pull it off then yeah go with them, but every bit of performance they add means consuming more battery life.

Your question depends on your definition of “can it run”. To me, as a portable device I get 45 fps on the witcher on medium settings and that’s very playable. If you want to use it as a desktop and expect that the next version will rival a 5000 series GPU, that’s unrealistic.

By definition it cannot exist. You can have a powerhouse or portable. The fact that they made the deck as powerful as they did is frankly amazing.

See other comments, this was on purpose to make it more portable. The deck doesn’t need to be a powerhouse, it needs to be portable. We already have powerhouse desktops

This has been a major annoyance I’ve had too with gamers. It was never meant to play games at 240fps with ultra graphics. It’s meant as a way to make “most” games playable on the road. A great low cost entry point, or something to compliment your big gaming rig. I don’t need an upgrade because it does what it does great, plays most games on decent settings well enough for the duration of a flight or trip. If you want ultra graphics, you will have to pay ultra prices and probably do a big desktop. Even “Steam Deck 2” will still probably only do 30-45fps games on medium, just newer games will be a bit more playable.
